Wild and Wonderful

So, we all know what a Lover is, don’t we? Yes that’s right, a lover is someone to make love with in the most intimate of ways. Hearts are pumping, hormones are popping and butterflies are floating around as we try to compose ourselves in anticipation of THE EVENT.

As adults we can all consent to experiencing passion in a physical and intimate capacity. We can dream about our perfect partner and how we will feel when touched and caressed. We can illuminate our imagination to such a peak that our expectations of the lover can be Read more

Alexandra’s Secret

The train is late again, Alexandra thought, as she looked earnestly down the track. It was early in the morning and birds were singing joyfully, but the clouds were blue with moisture.

It will rain soon, said the lady next to her on the bench. Alexandra didn’t answer. She thought better of it. She could hear the annoying doubts racing through her mind but could not get to a conclusion about the biggest question. The question she could not answer.

“Don’t worry so much”, said the lady out of the blue, “Would you like a sweet? A bit of sugar can sometimes calm the nerves before a big day. Lemon sherbets are my favourites.”

Alexandra reluctantly took a sweet hoping that the lady would not interrupt her again. She decided on a blackcurrent fizz instead of the sherbet as it seemed more appropriate considering the day ahead, but Alexandra knew that you can not sugar coat what she had done.

Where is that train, she thought? The lady next to her opened a huge umbrella, just in time. “Come and shelter under here, with me. There’s enough room for two”.

Alexandra moved silently but quickly along the bench, hoping that the lady did not notice her state of undress.

She had killed him. No one would know, would they? Alexandra frowned at the memory and then dropped her head into her hands. He was her clandestine lover after all.

No one else was there. No one would know, would they? The same questions circled through her mind and she felt hot all of a sudden, then frantically moved away from the nice plump lady with the umbrella. Alexandra stood up. She wanted to be soaked to the skin in the rain. Perhaps she would see a rainbow as some sort of sign that it was all a dream really. Perhaps not. Alexandra reminded herself that she had her eyes open all the time. Did she love him, she questioned again?

The nice lady on the bench interrupted her thoughts as if she was telepathic, ‘the train will be here in a few minutes, there has been an announcement’.

Alexandra was lost in her thoughts and couldn’t really hear anything above the noise in her head. She remembered how she had fought and fought with him and just could not understand why he became so crazy. John had always been so quiet and unassuming, yet amazingly passionate and wow, what a lover!

The tears flowed in an endless stream, matching the rain tumbling down. Flashbacks from a few hours ago haunted her. Alexandra remembered their bodies entwined, the choking sensation, Johns hands around her neck and the knife. It felt so good before the panic set in and consumed her. Perhaps John is not dead, is that a rainbow in the sky?

He is dead, whispered the nice lady who suddenly stood beside Alexandra. You really do need to share my umbrella again.

How do you know, what do you mean? Alexandra spoke for the first time that morning. Not words, just a stutter. Who are you?

The nice lady replied ‘I met him briefly as he passed through. I held Johns hand to guide him on his way. I told him I would keep your secret.

Secret? Alexandra looked puzzled and distraught.

Your pact, to be together forever. You both decided.

The train arrived at the station but there was no one waiting on the bench or the platform.

‘Come with me’ said the nice plump lady. ‘You might like a lemon sherbet now’. She placed the sweet in Alexandra’s hand. It stopped raining.

We can go and see where John is now. Somewhere over that rainbow maybe?

LIONS GATE NEW MOON ON SUNDAY 8^TH AUGUST 2021

The Lion’s Gate is the birth of a new and undeniably heightened level of dedication to our ascension process as individual human beings and also as a global entity.

The presence of the Lion’s Gate energy aligns with the heart centre and embodies the Leo traits of courage, strength, and expression.

Sweeping changes are being experienced by many so now is the time to harness this new energy.

We are pushed to let go of whatever isn’t serving our highest and best evolution.  Whether that’s toxic relationships, outdated ways of thinking, or the habit to downgrade our true purpose, we are all coming face-to-face with a reinvention point. The time is now so get the most out of the Lionsgate energy.

Understand that these transformative times are exciting as they offer incredible positive movement in soul growth and personal fulfilment, but they can feel turbulent and scary during the process.

So during this transformative process take care to always allow yourself some downtime. Perhaps meditate or take some time concentrating on your own personal goals. Consider what is important to you and slow down a little.

• • This offers a calmer arena to experience changes
  • Drink more water to experience those benefits
  • Rest and unplug from devices when possible
  • It can also make us feel fatigued on a physical, emotional, mental, and even soul-centred level.
  • It can also make us feel fatigued on a physical, emotional, mental, and even soul-centred level.
  • Do not engage in activities that you might find superficial or draining
  • Also be aware that this powerful energy can make us anxious, moody, suddenly sad (and then blissfully happy).

So if you feel exhausted, emotional, have sleep disruption, and are simply sensing that for some weird reason, life is not status quo, remember to take time to recalibrate and nurture yourself during this somewhat jarring transition.

Take a moment to write down what you would

• • like to heal in your life
  • wish to purge from your life
  • want to continue to develop and nurture
  • say that you love and adore about yourself

Then, consider how you can use your amazing uniqueness to usher in this new energy of love into the world.

Bring out your inner Leo to play, and see how it feels to infuse some ferocity into your world.

May we all roar our way through the Lions Gate!

A PSYCHIC
WALKS INTO A BAR…
…and redefines the Great British Pub as
the place to have your best reading yet!
I must confess I was feeling rather
self-conscious walking into a pub
on my own. I’d been having visions
of asking at the bar whether I was
in the right place and receiving
bemused looks in return, but it turns
out I needn’t have worried. As soon as I
enter The Chequers pub, a charming ‘olde
worlde’ pub in Hertfordshire, local to me,
I see a large banner welcoming guests
for ‘Psychic Destiny Psychic Nights’.
Four tables to the side of the bar area are
adorned with brightly coloured metallic
cloths, psychics with stacks of cards and
small crystal balls, all welcoming me in.
The host psychic Eleanor Grace (of no
relation to me!) greets me with a warm
smile and exudes confidence.
Social setting
Eleanor has been working as a medium
and clairvoyant for thirty years, and
it’s clear she knows her stuff. My first
question is about the choice of venue –
I had wondered if pubs are rather ‘low
vibrational’ for spiritual energy. Eleanor
explains that her clientele, 75% female,
enjoy being able to just rock up to the pub.
“A private reading in a social setting gives
enough privacy yet anonymity for women
to stop by after shopping or a meeting,
without needing to tell anyone one else
where they were headed,” she explains.
After a period of time some years ago
when psychic readings were unfairly
given rather a bad name, Eleanor and
some of her professional colleagues had
worked from their own home or visited
clients in theirs, but this proved timeconsuming.
“Wherever the reading takes
place, though, it seems many people like
to keep the fact that they’ve had a reading
confidential,” she tells me.
Saw it coming
Sometimes, the readings even reveal that
the pubs themselves are haunted. She
speaks fondly of The Gate in Northwood,
Middlesex, where apparently a regular
drinker named Fred, now in spirit, always
makes his presence known to her. “With
three or four mediums together, the
energy is enhanced,” she says, “it’s like
Eventually, right at the end of the evening,
they’ll sit down for one themselves!”
Decision-making power
People often ask about relationships
and Eleanor finds that she often has to
confirm sad suspicions. However, clients
often report that they feel able to make
better-informed decisions after seeing her.
“Sometimes we give warnings; I advised a
woman not to go on a skiing holiday, and
if she did, definitely to avoid the slopes.
The woman ignored me and came back a
couple of weeks later having had a bad fall,
complete with three pins
in her leg!”
Home truths
My own reading begins with Eleanor
gently holding my hand and asking me to
visualise myself at a beach, looking out
onto the horizon. She then reveals some
people in spirit she could see who were
‘looking out for me.’ She tells me about my
grandmother (who I have never met but
have always felt connected to) was there
on the beach beside me. “She literally
‘sweeps the way for you’”, Eleanor says,
and she reminds me that I could always
come here for help whenever I need it. She
goes on to ask if the name Johnny means
anything to me. Indeed it does – my uncle
Johnny sadly passed a few weeks ago.
She then asks me to pick out twelve
cards from her deck. She proceeds to talk
about my work and frustrations
I have, all of which are true. She says I
have four children – I do – and she picks
up on my sportiest son who is extremely
“I had wondered if pubs are rather’ ‘low vibrational’ for
spiritual energy” a light being switched on for those in the
spirit world.”
She has found that holding these
nights in pubs has been incredibly popular,
though being in such an ‘open’ setting has
meant that she has had many different
sorts of welcomes. “A vicar might pop into
the pub for his pint, offering to pray for
me!” Of course, she’s heard all the gags in
the book, too. “‘I bet you saw that coming’
has been said many times,” she says, “and
many men will watch and make jokes all
night as their girlfriends have a reading.
